Laneway housing

The subject of laneway housing comes up frequently in Vancouver. Building small houses or apartments adjacent to the lane is seen as a way to address density and affordability. There are some examples like this around but I don't think they have become the general practice yet.

I wish I knew what this heritage building looked like before it was converted into two apartments in a Strathcona alley.

I'm on a train trip to Toronto but I'll be checking in whenever I have internet access. Back 12/16/08
